Avoid UMich Forum

[JOThompson]

The first person to post is giving some foolish advice. I, for one, can say that I have had a firm job, even during my 1L summer and in arguably the third biggest market in the US. I only landed the job thanks to OCS' help. OCS will meet with you upon request, even to go over your resume. All my friends have firm jobs that wanted them, and that has do with the fact that Michigan students are some of the most highly recruited and OCS makes sure you are prepared for interviews and how to pick the right firms to bid on. OCS is helpful, and as others have said, OCS cannot do everything for you.

Also, the poster seems like a total poser. I know the student body well, especially through links to school senate, and nobody has dropped out of this law school.

Michigan will do right by you.

The poster, while cynical and sarcastic (traits I find endearing), is generally regarded in fairly high esteem around these parts. Hence, the level of our concern.

The poster is a nameless faceless individual typing in anonymity on the internet. How much credibility can he really have?

The sort of credibility that's established after 3900+ compelling/helpful/reasonable posts?

It is so sad when someone drops out of a t14 school.

Idiot.

If OP is legit, then don't be surprised if he doesn't come around for a day or two. If I had just dropped out of a T9 school, the last thing I'd want to do is hang out on TLS to talk about it some more. I'd be at Ashley's with my head under the Old Rasputin tap.

He won't come this evening. But he will tomorrow. I'd hang myself if my belt hadn't broken. Oh, well, I'll just come back tomorrow and be sure to bring a bit of rope in case he doesn't show...

I don't get why you'd drop out your 2L year? You've already paid TWO years of tuition. If you walk away, you have absolutely nothing to show for it. Why wouldn't u finish and at least have some kind of options.

Hell i've already graduated and taken the bar and I still have dreams about droping out.

I agree and I totally understand his frustration... but knowing how TLS works he should have waited to post such a downright alarmist and pessimistic thread. Oblomov had to know people would freak out and want details.

I understand giving him his space... but I sure hope he comes back soon to provide some more insight on WTF he is talking about.

one person questions Michigans career services and then drops out of law school. from this we know:

-they probably struggled with the job hunt (and its clearly all UM's fault since the the schools job to get the student post-grad employment.)
-continuing your education (which OP prob sunk at least 3 semesters worth of $$ into) is useless.

Great points! another amusing but totally worthless TLS rant.

It is exceedingly difficult to get any job, especially the kind of job t-14 students expect, outside of OCI. Barring inborn connections, familial or otherwise, it can be nearly impossible. In this sense, Oblomov is accurately displaying his frustration.

Law school is a professional school. An expensive one. Schools are obliged to make a serious effort in the job hunt.

I'm sure he did -- and I'm sure this is all intentional (if even true).

I'm having memories of the last "dropping out of lawl school, you guyz" thread.

It was a pretty solid anti-Georgetown troll, if nothing else.

Is that a flat-coat retriever in your picture?

She's actually a mutt, part lab part spaniel. Or so I was told by the pet store where I paid $30 for her. My vet swears she is a pure-bred flat-coat retriever though.
